The Many Benefits of Guitar Lessons

Although guitar lessons are associated with many positive emotional results, there are many physical and physiological benefits from playing guitar. In fact there have been many studies done to show the positive effects of guitar lessons for just about anybody! While taking guitar lessons at Fox Music, the mind of a musician is constantly growing, and providing a learning environment that encourages that growth as an artist is vital. One Scottish study has recently shown that playing guitar allows individuals to have sharper brain functions as you grow as a musician, which can ultimately fight against mental decline as you get older! Taking guitar lessons at Fox Music also allows you to benefit your hand-eye coordination by relaying motor patterns to your brain, from reading musical notes to managing rhythm.
